Facebook Confused About Blocking Content, and a Hack Besides

I love and hate facebook. I love the idea of keeping a database of
your social network that is kept up to date by the actual people in
the network. Great. But I hate having to use their mailing system.

I already have an email address, and I don't need another place
to check my email, much less one that requires a web browser and
doesn't let me locally archive my messages.

But even worse than that, lately Facebook has decided that I
am a troublemaker. I tried sending out a group message with
a link to our venue's front page:

"You are trying to post content on facebook that has
been marked as abusive...

I'm certainly feeling abused by Facebook, so that makes sense!

But there's more! This is a twofer. Not only a complaint, but a workaround.

If you are sending the message as a reply to a conversation (as opposed to a
new message popup), then when you type the link, you'll get that automatic
link info addition at the bottom of the message. Try to send, get the 'abusive content'
error, and then delete the link from the message. The link info will
still be attached to the bottom, and you can (probably) now send the
message! Great job, guys!
